Zurich Risk Engineering

Proactive protection for your business

Our team of risk engineering specialists is the largest in the industry. With proven capabilities and industry-specific expertise, we can help you move your risk engineering activities from “Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen again” to “Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen in the first place.” Because proactive protection is always better, and less expensive, than cure.

Risk Engineering – the Zurich way

Zurich’s risk management methodology is a process of continuous improvement and it starts with risk identification. Then, taking into account a number of factors, we assess and grade your exposures, which helps you prioritise and manage your risks. Our findings allow us to share relevant insights based on best practice, industry benchmarks and loss history. We will suggest risk improvement actions to help you mitigate the risks. The process then begins again to ensure that you always have an effective loss prevention strategy and improvement actions in place.

Offering a full range of services from on-site assessments to board-level advice, our team of risk engineers work in partnership with our global customers, often over many years, building up a wealth of in-depth knowledge and insights. This allows us to provide the best advice to help you protect the business you love and make more informed investment decisions around your risk management strategy.

Case studies

Lanxess AG, one of the leading specialty chemical groups in Germany, took over three rubber production units in Brazil. To achieve global standards in operational practices around fire protection and process safety, they asked Zurich Risk Engineering to identify areas for improvement and for help to create an action plan.

Zurich Risk Engineering also carried out operator training and risk reduction sessions. Overall safety at the sites improved significantly as a result.

With Zurich we have a very open and cooperative atmosphere and dialogue with lively and positive discussions.

Lanxess AG

Zurich Japan has had a long relationship with IKEA. Almost immediately after the tragic earthquake on March 11th, 2011, IKEA contacted Hisashi, our Risk Engineer from Zurich’s Tokyo office, asking for support in assessing our affected stores and assistance in resuming operations. Despite public transportation having not yet fully recovered from the earthquake, Hisashi used a combination of his personal bicycle as well as taxis to reach the sites, complete thorough assessments with accompanying reports, all within a few days.

His personal and professional commitment allowed IKEA to reopen for business quickly and reduce financial impact.
